On 3 March 2010 SuperAGILE detected an X-ray burst from the LMXB 4U 1608-522 (Atel #2461). Confirmation of the renewed activity of this transient source was reported by MAXI/GSC (Atel #2462). 4U1608-522 was in the IBIS/ISGRI and JEMX field of view during several observations between 2010-Feb-23 06:20 and 2010-March-03 01:04 UTC, when INTEGRAL was monitoring the inner Galactic Disk. The source was detected by JEMX since March 2, with a flux of 17+/-2 mCrab in the 3-20 keV band.
